Scraps and Shreds . . . .

This is already developing as a rather unusual sort of year.  Well, the weather is for one thing is certainly odd.  We have had maybe one or two normal type winter storms, and even those were not much; otherwise it has been strangely warm and mostly rainy.  We can't recall a winter quite like this.  It's been more like a long early spring, averaging in the 40s and even 50s to 60 Fahrenheit temps, where it should be in the 20s, teens and lower to around 0 degrees . . . .

Work wise, it's also been quite unusual.  I had a job at the end of December--transforming one of my long time clients' little home office . . . where it was all a dated, dark green  . . . the walls, trim, book shelves ... green, green, green . . . and he wanted it to look like natural wood grain . . . so got to use my nifty graining tools and masterly techniques :) to paint over it all . . . and make it look like ... a nice, warm, knotty pine--everything, the shelves, window frames, panes, walls . . . .

But then . . . nothing.  I had a nervous premonition before the start of the year that it might be different, and so far it is . . . exceptionally "quiet".  It's not unusual that there is a lull after Christmas work-wise but this has a different more ominous feel to it . . . . Hopefully, it will pick up soon.  Meanwhile, I have been utilizing the time helping my mother get organized and paired down.  She is a bit of a hoarder--a sentimentalist, heh, who saves things like newspaper clippings and notes and receipts and cards and anything related to her long lost dreams and goals and plans ... though, she has MS and fybromyalgia and various other physical ailments, complications . . . dwindling funds . . lives alone . . and needs help to get organized into a more realistic situation . . . and move into a more sustainable scenario.... So I've been going through her piles of stuff, tossing out and shredding and honing ....

In the midst of that, I came across a key-like thing, which looked old, tarnished, and had was engraved with initials I didn't recognize.  I said, "what's this?" . . . . "Aha!" she exclaimed, "we were just talking about that the other day--they asked if I'd lost it."  (she and her sisters) . . . .

Turns out it is Mitt Romney's father's toothpaste tube winder!  George Romney's!  I've mentioned before I once had a white cowboy hat of his (George's) with his name embossed inside, I use to wear when I was about 13 and 14 years old .. especially when I played gigs as the keyboardist in a mostly black/mixed-race funk band in Davis, California . . . . You see, we lived for a time in a house that George Romney once owned and some campaign posters and a few odds and ends they just left behind when we moved in.

I wish I still had that hat--it was a perfect fit and I dug it . . . . but alas . . . the toothpaste tube lives! ....lol ... .kinda funny and odd somehow . . . considering the current silly political season . . . .

Re . . . the race . . . I wouldn't be too surprised if Newt managed to pull it off . . . . Too many people are waking up to the threat of Barry and I know "they" are in a hurry to collapse things . . . so, it might be better for them to (as I've suggested before) bring in a "right winger" . . . to ignite chaos, tumult, riot etc., and thus have the pretext for heavy handed clamp down . . . . .  Mitt is too similar to the Liar in Chief--though he still could be a catalyst for mayhem . . . but Newt is the perfect foil, with all his loose cannon qualities and tendency to grandiosity and love of friction and conflict . . . .

I just think "they" would rather have the left going nuts against a "right winger" . . . rather than the "right", ie., "tea party" going against the Manchurian Barry . . . because, though there would be a few "patriot" types who might do some limited damage here and there . . . the left wing, with the Occupy troops in place . . . are much more apt on a larger scale to go berserk.  The so-called "right wing" . . . ie., "tea party" types . . . tend to be polite, orderly, respectful, older, peace-loving and wanting not a whole new system, but restoration of traditional principles and such . . . whereas the lefties are primed and ready for anarchy--to bring the whole thing down . . . . WHICH is what the globalists want also.  So, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Newtster win . . . but with controversy . . . not a clear victory . . . recounts and the like . . . a mess . . . then "forced through" . . . followed by riot ....

Though, I must admit, there seems to be a blanket over it all . . . this year and after . . . is unusually murky . . . hard to discern--I suspect a cloaking mechanism of some sort ..... on some "level" . . . .

At the same time, the stunning acquiescence to the interloper's blatantly Marxist propaganda and policies may lead the cabal to ramrod through another 4 years and rather undramatically tie up all the few remaining loose ends . . . . (This, btw, would be the creepiest and most disheartening trajectory of all, imho...) 

:) God blesses you one and all
